Iran's Ambassador to the United Kingdom has issued a stark warning about the prospect of war in the Middle East, breaking his silence to spell out his country’s readiness.
‘Don't test us’ was the message from Hamid Baeidinejad in the wake of escalating tensions between Tehran and the US President’s administration, over the Iran nuclear deal, designed to quell the nation’s nuclear programme, and attacks on oil tankers and Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure.
America is reportedly threatening to send 120,000 troops to the region.
Mr Baeidinejad says ‘while we have renounced any escalation in the region, I would assure you that Iranian armed forces are fully ready for any eventuality in the region, so they should not try to test the determination of Iran’.
